It’s raining!

[luvie]

Well....it is where YOU are Mr. lizard...and friend! :)

[AZamericonnie]

OMGosh Luvie!

About time right?

Hope you get a good amount of it!

[HiJinx]

Woo-Hoo, more rain!!

[luvie]

Well, the little storm over us has moved on...but there are other storms in the area and I hope we get some more. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

My, m,y what big teeth you have!

[luvie]

Yes....not as much as we wish, but there are still rumblings and clouds moving closer, so we can hope for more. :)

I think I’ll go now and snooze with the window open and the lovely perfume of rain blowing in. mmmm

[Lady Jag]

You should see this toothy grin on Friday!

[HiJinx]

Sweet dreams...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Congratulations, Luv....is it real, honest-to-goodness rain? Did you go out and dance in it?

[Lady Jag]

Hey can you send me a polar bear for dinner?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sweet dreams, Luv, with the loverly rain.

Good evening, Taz...((HUGS))...I passed on everyone’s hugs to her hands. She so wants to speak or write. Speaking is out of the question, and we are not having much luck with the writing. She can’t seem to get her fingers close on the marker. So it is 20 questions and alphabet questions.

She seems to be holding her own, but they said she has ARDS, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

They said they might know more about her lungs tomorrow.

[oldteen]

Evenin' Kathy! *hugs*

ARDS is not a good thing to have to go through. Prayers she comes through it in good health and no long lasting problems.

Don't know the reason she had the 'throat dilation' but wonder if it could be related. Just thinking about the time frame. Very scary.

Sending more *hugs* along with the prayers for Teresa!

[Kathy in Alaska]

No can do.....even tho their #s go up each year, that wonderful government we have won’t listen and have added them to the endangered species act.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, teen...((HUGS)) They don’t think her throat is the issue now, maybe not any of it. The lungs, even with all the oxygen getting pumped in, don’t seem to be doing their job. She is so frustrated, not being able to talk, and we are not getting what she is trying to tell us. When I was there tonight she was getting really agitated and I got the nurse....she needed suctioning. He did her lungs, and then he realizied that she wanted the one like at the dentist. And when he was done she wouldn’t let go. He left it with her and we needed it a bit later. I got it turned in the right direction and into her mouth, around the ventilator, and she got it the places she needed.

One day at a time. Thanks for the hugs and prayers.

[oldteen]

Is her lack of communication due to the low lung capacity? This is all so very quick in onset and very strange. I know she has had breathing problems for some time and needing oxygen but it just seems odd.

I truly hope they find some answers SOON!
